PINDASANA

Pinda is the way a fresh human being is situated in his mother's womb;also with the legs upwards and bent right above his head,just that your legs here are crossed in Padmasana,and not simply covering your head uncrossed as when you are in your mother's womb.The original position of a not yet born baby is what Ardha Pindasana shows-with legs up,bent in the knees,which try to protect the head of the unborn baby from whatever was it its mother had to come through in our anscient history,when dinosaurs and other wild animals were the deadly for us humans predators,feeding upon us as a delicasy,just the way french up untill now feed upon frogs' legs. HOW TO DO It is when you are in Padmasana the lotus pose while in Viparita Karani pose simultaneously,both the poses done in 1 single approach.Best 1)first get into Padmasana(this is also for beginners as they are weaker and less capable even as:2)when you get into Padmasana already being legs up head down, and 2)is better influencing the health in general.For the harsher variation 2)lay down opon your back and rise your legs vertically with your wrists holding the legs from downwards by the thighs' large bones,situated RIGHT above the buttocks;this is Viparita Karani pose.Now bend both of your 2 legs in the knees and perform in this Viparita Karani also Padmasana the lotus pose;1 who is well practised in yoga can do this pretty easily,but novices in yoga would prefer to:1)FIRST begin with Padmasana,and only THEN put the legs,which are in Padmasana already,up into the air and then over the head itself.It is also performed otherwise,when while sitting in Padmasana you lay down upon your back face up and after this,pushing with both your hands,propell your lower body parts(which are by now in Padmasana)up into the vertical above the head position.This pose becomes Pindasana when you have both of your hands cover your bent in Padmasana legs from both sides(fingers better interlocked together,but can be simply covering the knees as well)and somewhat pushing them inwards towards your stomach,but slightly and never radically;till the moment such pressure becomes uncomfortable.In each of yoga poses it is best to feel comfortable and satisfied with the pose and its effect;no displeasure is allowed for those,who aim at nicer effects from their yoga practises.Once displeased or uncomfortable with any pose 1 nice day you simply will NOT return to it,which effect is to carefully be avoided-yoga is a boon we must cherish as it boosts the health strongly and upon its more important an internal level.At its best performance each pose must please the practitioner and never bring him any discomfort,even as beginners might wanna force the final result upon themselves,the resulting effect of such an overexertion is never that good,sometimes even bringing with itself somewhat injured body parts;i heard stories about some yogis trying a pose and later unable to use the involved in it joints/limbs at all for a considerable time while as that pose managed to injure the entire joint somewhat.Even if you might wanna find the yes awaiting you results possibly sooner,the effects simply arent good with this then and the best option here is just to await the natural increase of mastery over a pose.I find this Pindasana pose 1 of my favourite and most practised ones that i simply like better than other ones.It is influencing BOTH the correct blood redistribution towards your upper body each topsy-turvy pose offers AND the stomach's blood pressure increase too,the digestive body parts making for a very considerable part of each human being's circulation;and this simultaneous pretty radical an action in 2 different directions(blood gathering in quantities around the brain AND strongly increased physical pressure the stomach's digestive organs experience then too)IS the secret behind the large influence this pose can have upon you.Blood is having enough of its influence upon us even when it either increases the brain's blood pressure or that of the stomach and having the 2 going hand in hand together is even a stronger weapon to wield in practising up/boosting the health of the body;this is why this pose is 1 of my own favourite ones as it hits the body from different sides simultaneously.Be careful to stop the pressurizing your stomach with your heels(you will be lowering your legs in Padmasana into your abdomen with pressurizing it)AS soon as you develop heavy breathing in the pose/and or any other discomfort ensuing.If you fail to do this leaving a pose you are performing at the moment the increased internal activity will simply burn out all of your power very quickly and THIS result is better avoided at all costs.The very art of not only every exercise we do,but also every other action we do daily as well is to affect the working currently body part(and no aim we seem to follow then at all)to its utmost without injuring it,then after percieving the correct moment the action has just gone overactive and injurious/exhausting us,to slow down and leave the pose/action at the correct moment without overexerting the body and its parts.This effect of overworking the body over its allowable limits is EXACTLY why most people that try yoga tend to never return to it and then relinquish yoga altogether.So just to be sure you WOULD be back to yoga(its profits are significant)never ever overexert yourself doing poses-displeasure with yoga will definitely bring you to relinquishing this very valuable health mechanism.Yoga is never for tiring off quickly,but instead for gradual increase of your physical capacities;this result can be only achieved with correct management of each pose,and thats means achieving no considerable exhaustion while finding pleasure and comfort as performing well planned physical action.You will be back to yoga ONLY if you find pleasure or comfort in it,so always try to find those while doing yoga exercises.I always practise this Pindasana pose or Embrio Pose as it is translated into english from sanskrit the original language of the older times' texts(as any other 1 too btw)ONLY till heavy breathing appears.If you can always stop pressing your legs into your stomach(thats just how Pindasana works the most and the best)as you develop heavy breathing and then await gradual return to normal condition while still standing in Viparita Karani(or simply releasing your pressurizing of upon your bent legs too),wait till you are able to press your legs back into your stomach again and then return to pressing your legs into the belly again as thing increases the effect,taken out of this pose additionally.To this effect it is best to await the HEALTHY CONDITION you will definitely be able to find in yourself once you stop pressurizing the stomach with your heels;this is simply the BEST way of action,and just the way it is with many things too,once you can perform a specific technological process correctly the success IS awaiting you,and correct performance of a specific yoga pose is definitely such a complicated technological process 1 must be a master of to do well in yoga.I personally account to several/up to 10 times i AM capable to pressurize inwards in that way my stomach,then releasing the pressure upon my hands and so accordingly upon my stomach too and then awaiting this return of my HEALTHY sound CONDITION;this additional pressing of it inwards with both of your heals increases the effect this pose has upon you.If able to return to normal condition after the heavy breathing HAD been just achieved try to repeat the stomach pressurizing again and again for such a better final result without leaving the Viparita Karani pose(the 1,where your legs point upwards and the palms support them from below by the buttocks).Numerous repetition of the inwards pressurizing of the stomach is the sign that you ARE good in Pindasana.Unlike in so many complicated subjects it is VERY simple to confirm your successes here and no complicated point need to be taken into consideration.It is also good and even the best to try to divert the crossed in Padmasana legs to each of the 2 sides after Pindasana pose making as such diversified actions additionally practise the muscles that are close to the main acting in Pindasana ones.Like this at first i take the legs to the left till i reach heavy breathing(after which 1 must stop for a break immidiately till the easy breathing does return,myself returning to Pindasana),after which i perform what traditional books call Pindasana,and after this i take my Padmasana crossed legs rightwards again only till heavy breathing is achieved once again,the main direction of the body's middle part going outwards from the current 1 and never inwards);then i return to Pindasana,then the Padmasana crossed legs movement to the left and the cycle is to repeat in this way till you are finally tired of it and would be better doing some other poses/relaxation(you will feel this moment right away),but ONLY untill you get exhausted of the poses,mentioned here-Pindasana itself and the bent legs' diversions to the left and then to the right;the decisive exhaustion then must be followed by either 1)Shavasana the relaxation pose for weaker individuals or 2)other but definitely new and unrelated poses for stronger people that can suffer through many yoga poses done 1 after 1 without serious exhaustion;such a better condition IS awaiting 1 that spends certain amounts of time for yoga daily.Each yoga follower must try to follow the best routine for his own self and such a best for him routine involves performing poses he likes and finds bringing him the best results.No strict rules 1 has to follow in yoga do ever exist;the best variation for everyone is somewhat different and he must find his best form of exercising himself.Do never play with the REAL capacities your body does show in the form of exhaustion as this is EXACTLY when you have to stop and leave ANY pose AS soon as tired of it/would be better with relaxation;my own experience shows me that this is the best course even as otherwise willing to proceed on mentally.Refusal to listen to exhaustion your body shows will definitely worsen its final condition,then lessen the profits 1 gets from yoga as exercises are stopped being practised and none is interested in this.Except for the traditional Paripurna Pindasana(with the legs in Padmasana pose all along it)there is an easier variation of this pose too;even as i never see it in any yoga books i practise it myself as a separate pose pretty often,finding it a useful even as a less influencing me pose.This Ardha Pindasana pose is even more reminding the position of a newly forming human being as it is still inside of his mother's womb because in this exact pose babies are in the womb of the mother.Paripurna Pindasana(the way the pose is generally shown in yoga books)is this very same Ardha Pindasana pose,but when in the Ardha Pindasana pose,as you cross your legs into Padmasana the Lotus Pose next,you are already in the Paripurna Pindasana variation.So to be in Ardha Pindasana while laying down face upwards you get your legs up,then bend them in the knees and approach the knees to your face,all along trying to keep your backbone possibly straighter.I also add to the block of Pindasana pose variations bending the corpus with the bent by now legs(while in each of either Paripurna Pindasana or Ardha Pindasana poses)first to the left and then(you must stop turning sidewards when developing heavy breathing and not a moment before though)to the right.Such additional sidewards movements add to developement of muscles that surround your legs and backbone.Adding though to their flexibility keeps your backbone well balanced and developed and wards off the well known by the old age enemy of your body stiffness of your entire corpus and inflexibility of the bones and joints because stiffness develops with no corpus movements very naturally and by introducing weird sidewards movements of your corpus you give practise to the otherwise stable and unmoving body parts and they DO need such movements at least sometimes.In our anscient lives as we were once our long gone predecessors lower animals long ago each of our muscles and bones had a very ample opportunity to exercise as MOST of our times in our previous births(we ARE born again in our kids actually)we were engaged in collecting grocery in forests the way wild apes are busy averagely even nowadays.The memoirs of Caesar the old times' emperor of Rome and a very successful military leader(those describe in detail his military adventures throughout Europe)mention that most or well over 50 % of what now is Europe had been 1 wild forest in those times and the times were almost exactly 2000 years ago,right before Jesus Christ was born.And we former apes had been busy then or even before it with nothing else but groceries' collection from forests that ruled the world around us.Movements around forests though are destined to keep your corpus in a correct condition.Such things impossible now,we still have to exercise the body no less than we did in those times simply to keep them in a good enough condition.The currently ruling human bodies curved backbone conditions with suffering of the nervous paths through it and scoliosis a serious developement of those are very well warded off by such exact sideways movements of your corpus(and any other bodily exercises too just we are almost never engage those)and if you practise these consistently those illnesses will not be ever bothering you.So as done with Ardha Pindasana pose(it comes as the body is finally tired of it and starts to ache),first turn your entire body left till it cannot go any further or else you start breathing heavily,then return to the position with your legs right above your head;in this position i always lower down my legs and sometimes even try to press them into the abdomen untill heavy breathing develops;and then turn the entire body rightwards but also only till you reach finally heavy breathing,which always marks the very spot,from which you need to return to your simpler poses that are not followed by heavy breathing.After this i return to pressing my legs into the abdomen,then turning the entire body leftwards etc as i find this exact way of the exercise moovements the best.1 though might find that another way of moving the body around is better for him and that exact way he prefers will indeed be the best for him,but i find this exact way the best for myself.

BRAHMA SHIRSHASANA the preferred headstand pose variation

This pose is performed with your fingers not even intertwined(even as you might easily hold them so),with the fingers bent into 2 parts each and touching your middle palms' parts(this simply is my own way of performing it),the palms themselves slightly touching each other and the head itself being AS close to the elbows as possible.At first as you are new to yoga and headstands in particular(this is a harder pose to perform anyway and newcomers to yoga wont be good with it for quite a while)you wont be able to perform it because use of the palms funnily makes headstands a much more realistic thing to achieve,trying to be upon your head being less realistic without touching the head with the palms;with time though if you try to reposition your arms while standing upon your head it will work eventually;but this pose is definitely not for yoga beginners.Even later will you become able(i am capable of doing this right away but then i practise headstands for many years by now)to put yourself into Brahma Shirshasana right away after leaving the floor by your legs.While standing straight upon your head,the elbows must be AS close to the head as possible.Comfort you will find by using your palms to support the head though is simply not the best way to perform it;best is it for beginners;but as 1 develops he might find other aims better and more promising in the general sense.The greatest gain 1 might find in shirshasana is exchange of the direction one's blood flows into;and while your subjects micro body cells well below the skin notice mostly their own affairs and not YOUR ones,such a sudden change of direction of the entire bloodstream flowing through any cell this body has absolutely IS to attract their attention;more,these will change into a completely different mood of action as they observe the change.And what CAN influence us most is always the most basic things provided we CAN replace the set of these with a new 1;safe as it certainly is(it only involves the river that flows through each cell to flow for a change into a completely new direction,say not south to north,but for a bit from north to south),it is capable of weirdly strong reaction of our internal bodily cells(and these are well over 90 % of the organism)to the very same lifestyle we had been just now performing.How do we feel/notice such a change though?Right after a headstand of several minutes(a short 1 wont be strong enough)try your body heat with your own arms/hands and you will notice strong increase of temperature your body had just achieved after you had been just now headstanding.I personally start perspiring strongly right after i just stood upo my head;the body gets hot and sweaty,sweat drops leaving the body(head a lot too)in quantities;salty liquids often get under my eyelids even,producing too salty a sphere my eyse arent already feeling well in.And how did i get that hot if all i did was being in a completely still a position with the head down and legs up?Additional heat might only be produced inside of my internal cells;they reacted so to a new developement of the "river of blood" their state is getting any thing they might ever need down there from replacing the old direction with a new 1.And while Paripurna Shirshasana(what we see as HEADSTAND in any yoga book)isnt capable of making SUCH a deep impression upon lower cells as Brahma Shirshasana can,this particular variation is not interesting brains themselves by touching them(the palms arent even touching the head here),but instead hits the lower bodily cells THEMSELVES by the simple exchange of the direction their local "river of blood" flows by;as such things ONLY are noticed down there,and never any thingies the brains themselves are naturally addicted to.Theres 1 more headstand variation i fail to elaborate here because i myself almost never use it even as it DOES exist-Raja Shirshasana;it is when as you are upon your head with the head itself touching neither the fingers nor the elbows,but wrists(the area of profuse veins collection with never a single bit of fats);i do not find it of much use but i know by now(once in a while i DO use it)that Raja Shirshasana would boost one's wrists' condition and resulting capacity to use muscular activities of many sorts as wrists are roughly speaking the main piece of any muscular man and use of Raja Shirshasana indeed boosts my muscular powers i noticed.I find this Brahma Shirshasana variation more influential to my health than the traditionally explained ways of performing headstands are.This pose is also harder to perform and 1 can hold on to it for considerably less time than the traditionally explained headstand pose variation(i personally,being a seasoned headstands' practitioner,can hold on to standing in Brahma Shirshasana for only around 2 minutes a time),which by this used here a scale is called Vaishya Shirshasana.Headstands are a very useful tool i am much of a specialist is in by now;used in THE variation you wanna benefit from,it might bring you:1)profits the blood might offer(i myself prefer these),2)profits of external muscular system well developed;3)profits of a mountain you'd never find in any other way and achieved by your own physical body only with no mental games even in close proximity;or 4)slowing down of extreme speed limits 1 has to follow to keep up with his brains' needs.And these 4 are only the general variations involved;for diserees of additional profits theres more.Best for myself(proposing this calculation into general use)is to account each sportive action in 1 common scale you can later account the way a worker accounts his money after being paid upon his job;in a certain currency,which for myself is 1 exercise.Another thing about it is that if you try to count the time you spend in this Brahma Shirshasana the index to the traditionally seen in sources variation Paripurna Shirshasana for myself is 3.5 currently,was 1.3 once,had been rising since i started and it will gradually rise up,meaning that as you stay in Brahma Shirshasana for 10 full minutes it will influence your health the very same way 13 minutes or so of Paripurna Shirshasana would add to the health anyway;and i myself always try to count EACH of my exercises in 1 common currency,and 1 unit of such a currency i find to be either 1 simple pushup from the floor or 1 tenth of a headstand minute or else 1 pranayama round i perform.Even as i am a seasoned headstands' practitioner i manage to hold on to this Brahma Shirshasana pose for 2 minutes at the most while normal Paripurna Shirshasana can be held for twice that time without any complications.The reason for this is as the MAIN body part,that finds itself under considerable pressure here is NOT the hands/palms,as traditionally headstands propose engaging(engaging the hands actually promotes headstands and makes that pose longer),but instead the backbone and the neck,their muscles,which will be holding about ALL the body weight upon itself ONLY then;hands and arms left behind and mostly not participating.Specifically after Brahma Shirshasana use i find my backbone surrounding muscles overstretched/exhausted;this headstand variation can be held on to for much smaller amounts of time and the main reason for it is no use of arms/hands to support the corpus;backbone muscles themselves are not THAT efficient in holding the weight of the body straight.And as getting the largest pressure these 2(neck and backbone surrounding muscles)will also be getting the largest final increase in prowess and capacities resulting.Even as starting yoga practise once long ago with a considerable backbone condition wasting my health down,i managed to not only reverse the situation into the other direction of general health improvement,but to later improve my general condition with no backaches at all attached nowadays;and use of headstands/Shirshasana pose was absolutely 1 of the main weapons i had been using for this end.The smaller amounts of time you will be holding on to this pose are explained with ONLY the backbone itself holding all of the body weight upon itself and hands never participating in the exercise at all.Even just to account ALL the headstand minutes i practise daily(i am pretty precise in accounting those)i count 10 minutes of Brahma Shirshasana as 15 minutes of Paripurna Shirshasana variation because the Brahma 1 makes a this much a larger influence upon the overall health and 1 better counts such efforts/achievements.The Nasa Shirshasana index so is 1.2 and the Shudra Shirshasana index so is 1.3;all of the 4 headstand pose variations(and those i perform daily are:Paripurna,Brahma,Shudra and Nasa Shirshasanas)are better used sometimes as each of those adds a new aspect to the overall health of not only the backbone itself,but to other health aspects as well.Accounting ALL of those times/exercises in ''1 single currency'' simply makes you engage SO much more into practising headstands that it IS worth the time you would be spending upon accounting those half fake and obviously simply presumed headstand minutes.I must also mention here that headstands in general and this Brahma Shirshasana variation in particular are a very strong tool 1 may use towards healing away backbone conditions 1 might be possessing because what REALLY is responsible for such backbone conditions is injured/weak and behaving incorrectly backbone,and such a radical pressure,applied to the backbone's muscles,as in the said here poses can achieve is exactly what headstands do to people.Brahma Shirshasana is a harder variation of headstand pose and will be achieved only after some time in Paripurna Shirshasana,and this is the most commonly known as Shirshasana variation of this main yoga pose,the 1,where you see yogis holding their legs straight up with hands over the head.Even as normally THE main actor in headstands is certainly one's arms that then hold the body weight by their own prowess only,i personally find that it is better to rather engage into such work the backbone upon its own self as it makes the body ITSELF get further developement in this simple way,avoiding engaging into it the arms and hands,and the REAL use of headstands is no rich blood inflax to your hands(and this is why Handstand is popular nowadays even as it is never mentioned in any of the older classical books about yoga)but instead rich and under high blood pressure blood supply to your brain the root of the human body tree and the central/main human body part,this really important event being the directly opposite movement of the blood through the body and not any arms practising as it traditionally is proposed into action;and i mean Handstand pose here.You will find that it is MUCH easier to perform a headstand with your fingers both intertwined and touching your head(Vaishya Shirshasana as i call this variation)though.Yet it is not the final and the best for use shirshasana pose variation.The most gaining body parts are naturally the ones,most suffering during its performance,and when you see that the backbone suffers the most(this IS the case with Brahma Shirshasana)you can be certain that it also GAINS from that pose the most.And when your internal body pieces earn more than external do you will know it is the BEST course of many;this is EXACTLY how do i believe that Brahma Shirshasana is the best headstand pose variation.The traditionally seen in yoga books/sources headstand pose is Vaishya Shirshasana with the fingers intertwined and touching the head from behind and the fact that it is seen so for the most part never means that the variation shown there is the best of different ones;all it does mean is that this society likes it the most and people almost never 100 % correct in whatever is it do they claim.Specialists in about every science will tell you that for each of them there is a serious difference among different variations of the theme explained;so exactly is it with headstands,which can be of several variations,each of which makes a specific impression upon your health and to gain this or that a specific result from them 1 must practise the appropriate headstand pose variation.This Brahma Shirshasana variation is harder to perform than what 1 normally sees in yoga information sources,it always is more intense in performance,takes from you more of power as you try to accomplish it,and takes so somewhat less time from you for holding on to it as you simply will NOT be able to hold on to it for THAT long a time amount as the other shirshasana variations' performance show.I though find this exact variation to be the best of several as it tends to exert the MOST basic and important bodily parts of yours,namely the backbone and the muscles that support it;not to mention the main gains from the headstands reciever the brain itself,which also feels better exactly after Brahma Shirshasana;in other variations parts engaged are either the hands or the neck;but in this 1 nothing is more under pressure of the gravitational power of Earth(and this IS what makes the largest influence headstands show)than the backbone itself.You will be able to perform Brahma Shirshasana pose only after some time,spent in other,easier performed,shirshasana pose variations,and there ARE a few of those too.There is also the Shudra Shirshasana headstand pose variation;in it 1 holds the entire body weight upon his own fingers,which plus either 1)several layers of towels or else 2)a couple of layers of thin blankets are the only border between the fingers and the stone floor then.The Shudra Shirshasana must be performed very carefully as it is capable of putting THAT hard a pressure upon your fingers as to make them suffer seriously and sometimes even the skin of your fingers can crack open,exposing your inner fingers' flesh.The effect DID happen to me a couple of times and it brings with itself complete unability to perform headstands afterwards till the very day your fingers would heal completely and naturally.Even AFTER the natural healing of your fingers is finally completed the skin upon the spot that witnessed cracking the fingers' cover open will forever remain more rough,less childlike and more aged-man-like;so be very careful with pressure to your fingers.The simple reason to yet keep performing Shudra Shirshasana is because unlike other headstand pose variations it can interestingly solve your intellectual/mental/psychological issues arising with a MUCH better efficiency than any other shirshasana pose variations possibly can.So much so that this specific headstand variation Shudra Shirshasana is even a better weapon to oust complications,arising from intellectual exhaustion or else undesired mental and psychological effects of our life,than Paripurna Shirshasana is(Paripurna term means the most basic variation,available from every source you might find that holds no additional complications whatsoever).As i find myself under TOO much psychological pressure this life around makes upon me,i prefer this exact Shudra Shirshasana variation,which solves my mental complications much better that any other exercise possible,other Shirshasana pose variations included.

CYCLIC PRANAYAMA the preferred pranayama variation

Even as well practisable during sitting down in the leg bent poses as well(it IS the best option of many indeed even as 1 can do pranayama even as walking around),the traditionally explained in books on yoga method of making pranayama is NOT possible when you walk around upon your legs or else drive in a car etc,and often there IS a need in practising pranayama along with your walking around;pranayama can easily be used as in the ''protector of the mind'' role,the role that is generally taken over by music or radio etc;yet THIS way of protecting your mind is more practical as it keeps your attention upon things so much closer to home,a.k.a. upon your own self;as while you just need to watch breathing closely to avoid easily otherwise achieved harm this body just might find you wont be able to wonder mentally/intellectually elsewhere.Here i explain my OWN successfully used pranayama practising methods that books on yoga fail to mention(such methods DO certainly exist but only for serious data keepers of certain topics).Best as traditionally shown pranayama certainly is,it isnt always possible to do it in perfect circumstances even as its role as "mind defender" is undoubtedly very successful in most any circumstance 1 may find himself in;most commonly used way of vedic(indian religious)stuff of "mind defender" are mantras-verses from holy texts that keep 1's mind occupied;however i personally often find that THIS method of mantras is not sufficient and needs additions of purely physical character to be efficient/useful;and just the way judaism practically refuses to interact with things physical in nature hinduism also most stress makes upon things mental;but unlike in judaism(another too well developed structure of human defence against the world around that any religion certainly IS,which tends to simply avoid things physical and leave them elsewhere,hinduism DOES have a strong physical based science that helps 1 to deal with the world in its most negative forms;yoga and pranayama(which are a part of oldest texts and are perfectly part of the entire tradition)indeed CAN work to save a human being from the world upon its lower physical level.1 sometimes finds himself in a position,where he just needs to withstand mental issues,confronting him,and making pranayama is a very simple way of this simple "letting problems just go away" way of solving mental issues.Back to cyclic pranayama;i suppose it is better performed upon different fingers that make a circle/cycle as you pass them from the left to the right because it practises not only 2 fingers,but each of them and even in proportional use.We start this CYCLIC PRANAYAMA with the smallest left palm finger and its neighbour the ring finger;both used NOT with the fingers' tips but instead(this is actually a less tiring to your fingers method as you keep moving around upon your legs for instance)with the middle parts of the fingers' sides;not croutching fingers with their tips used into pressing your nostrils,the way traditionally explained pranayama works,but instead holding the fingers straight/never folded and pressing upon nostrils with their middle parts only;it all makes pranayama both simpler in practical use and less influencing/tiring off your fingertips themselves,and these latter CAN get tired quickly if used overactively,especially as you keep walking or so because both making correct pranayama and street walking isnt exactly possible;and so also making larger stress upon your health too,in particular elongating the time you will be able to perform pranayama.As traditionally explained in yoga books techniques of pranayama are all practisable in perfect for this conditions only and fail to be used as you,say,move through your city streets,THIS method of making pranayama IS nevertheless practiseable as you move around the city in less than perfect conditions for it to be used.Correct and useful as they are,the older explained forms of religion and tradition(and pranayama IS 1)nevertheless would be better used in less comfortable yet just as well important situations as well;those we depend upon sometimes too.As most of pranayama indeed IS better performed in the sitting position and in a certain pose with legs bent,in some situations pranayama can and better be done in less comfortable,yet recommended for pranayama use circumstances.Both yoga and pranayama though would better be introduced into our normal daily lives and this would lead NOT to perfecting our external life occupations then(like radio or newspapers' study or else such),but instead towards gradual improvement of our internal organs' condition,and the state of the breathing maintaining processes/bodily organs IS indeed such a mega important life piece we would better be spending our time upon instead of highly unrelated to this current life complicated things.This method,unlike the traditionally explained in yoga books 1,is making it possible to perform pranayama NOT only as we sit in specific,meant for it normally,poses with legs bent,and this is exactly how normal books about yoga try to introduce pranayama,but even as 1 walks upon a city road,is city busy etc because pranayama with fingertips used AND walking a road will definitely quickly tire off your very sensitive fingertips;even for myself(and i am a seasoned yoga/pranayama user)the fingertips get tired of it TOO quickly and other people that were never trained in it will find it mostly impossible altogether.While this CYCLIC PRANAYAMA i propose will NOT tire them off TOO quickly,instead making you able to achieve LONGER time of performing pranayama,and such an elongated period for pranayama exercises IS recommended to additionally improve one's health.The just said thing never means that this cyclic pranayama is to be used in better and definitely preferred conditions of sitting comfortably down and having ALL the possible comforts around;the traditional way IS the best for such perfected conditions;just that we not always possess the best conditions possible even as we CAN be busy with pranayama anyway,and we CAN practise pranayama in somewhat worse conditions as well;in fact such a use of pranayama as 1 walks is a better way of spending time than,say,listening to a radio or chatting freely around while walking about is.If we see just how it goes by the palms of yours,we can see that this cycle interestingly repeats the cycle of the Sun planet cycling the Earth-also from left to the right by a circle pieces(one's fingers)1 after another,and also cyclically circling the imaginative centre of your 2 palms if you spread the palms apart.So as the first step we used 2 of the straightened leftest fingers of your left hand,next pair is already to be both the ring finger and its next to the right neighbour the middle(the longest 1)finger.As you travel this cycle from the leftest finger to the right side of your 2 palms and reach the right palm little finger(where this cycle ends and you start accounting already next 10 pranayama rounds)the entire cycle is to start anew with again using the left little 1 and its next to the right ''ring'' finger.At both the junctions between the 2 palms(crossing between 2 thumbs and then between 2 little fingers)pranayama is to be performed with BOTH of the palms.This both of the 2 ''palms' variations'' are even stronger influencing your heart and health as 2 palms differ by their influence/electric charge applied(and there IS a somewhat different electric charge to each of the 2 palms)and SO make larger influence upon your heart and more than the heart itself too;your heart being the MAIN profits' gainer in all of this;difference among fingers' pressure/strenght/electric charges being THE most important instrument of this entire pranayama variation.As you use each finger your heart then also needs to get adjusted to the micro changes of the electric charge that exists different to each of your fingers,1 might even try to use ANY of the 10 fingers for pranayama exercises(i find such EXERCISES FOR your HEART)even more important ones than what we hear about as THE nice sorts of exercises;but the resulting effect then will NOT be AS effective as it will be with such a full circle repeating 1 because EXACTLY this bit-by-bit rising or falling of the power of each of your fingers is indeed the best variation and not a completely lacking order way of using ANY of your fingers,even as such a method indeed IS existing;the method is though only for exceptionally strong/seasoned pranayama users.Just to explain why exactly is the electric charge that passes through each of your fingers is different.The electric charge comes from the brain its original generator;and as the brain itself always holds the VERY same electric charge to itself(there ARE slight falls or ups in the charge among different individuals of course),this same charge as it passes through different fingers accordingly becomes somewhat varied in power/strenght and accordingly its influence upon the heart and other internal organs.Our traditional medicine agrees there IS a certain,even as a very weak in comparison to electric appliances 1,an electric charge to any human brain;and because EACH of your fingers is somewhat different(like longer or shorter,thinner or thicker etc),the electric current that passes each of the fingers(as it is just out of the main human body electric generator the brain)becomes somewhat different not only by its strenght,but also by other modifications like the speed of electric particles movement etc as it exits each of the fingers;we know that an electric generator's power(the brain is 1 too)becomes somewhat different simply after passing each of different wires upon its way provided those wires ARE different and each of our fingers definitely IS something else by its characteristics,and each of our fingers so is such a different a bit from other fingers a way the electric charge your brain keeps producing needs to pass upon its way from the brain itself outwards.As this brain produced electric charge is EXACT newly equired electric charge IS what is influencing your heart(the heart is only the first recipient of this brain produced electric charge as electricity very easily passes through your nose towards your more important and more liquid bodily parts after the nose,the heart being the very first electricity recipient here;the charge,released by your fingers as they work the nose in pranayama,goes initially downwards,attracted just as every electric charge,mostly by wet and humid substances,and reaches the heart,after which it keeps going down towards other internal organs as well;and while we can only feel the exertion of the heart the current produces,other lower organs profit from those currents as well in a similar way)as your press it against the nose.I personally can achieve increased breathing speed simply when my fingers touch my nose,without even closing the breathing passages,but this effect can only be achieved after some prolonged pranayama use and other health related items introduced all along the way.This condition of the fingers with electricity inside of them though is no simplest/normal condition 1 finds himself in but a situation for an individual with some seriously promoted health condition;average people will need to hold the nose closed for some while before their breathing becomes heavy with the heart suffering along this.And so the resulting influence upon the heart of each of the 4 pairs of your fingers(and this is upon 1 palm only and there are 2 palms you can use;each of the 2 has YET somewhat different influences the heart will be getting so)then is different too;by making such better GRADUAL,and so with the next to this 1 a finger and no other 1,replacements of the fingers you use when making pranayama you will be making additional,even as very slight to it,ammendments to the currents that pass through your body in this sublime way.Again,electric charge your brain holds inside of itself(it is a weak yet a considerable electric generator as medicine and physiology claim)always tends to leave the brain itself into the outside,and so each of your fingers naturally holds to it a certain amount of electric charge,the amounts of electric charge simply varying,and considerably too,from individual to individual.Upon our lower physical levels there is NO such a thing as a useless or not important an influence,each of the lower bodily functions reacting VERY much to every single thing it has to deal with,and such fingers' replacements are undoubtedly influencing the health in EXACTLY the best way of different ones.As you can see this from yoga books,the practise of pranayama they propose is never extended from the thumb and the forefinger to other fingers.Was this possible for old times' pranayama practitioners to NOT percieve such interesting ammendments in pranayama practising?Certainly not.But as it is with EACH and every of sciences we know about,what we know about them is nothing but THE BEGINNING of it all the MAIN piece of it remaining completely unknown to people,surface of this sea of internal knowledge seen ONLY,and the masters of each of those sciences definitely can perform MUCH more interesting wonders with it than what we hear about it at first as beginners to the science discussed and there are MANY of such sciences in the world that surrounds us;yoga books we might find being EXACTLY this ''beginning'' for pranayama practitioners.The point of performing such a type of pranayama is to INCREASE the INFLUENCE of it upon YOUR HEART as well as other human body system parts.Because as you perform pranayama systematically your heart is gradually strenghtened;and the better/or longer do you perform it(this CYCLIC PRANAYANA is but an additional developement of the entire pranayama science)the stronger will your heart be with time passing.This seemingly slight difference in performing pranayama as it might seem at first with time passing is destined to considerably strenghten your heart and in our world of constant heart diseases/complications there is no better way to spend your time than to build a better and more efficient a health.And so your lower body,the heart and even more included,then experiences DIFFERENT amounts of sorts of pressure and electric charges passing through your heart/other body parts later too as well from EACH of your fingers;small as such details may seem they DO have a significant influence upon your heart's(other bodily parts as well)condition if performed continuously for some extended while;and performing these for an extended period of time definitely additionally boosts the internally critical body parts like the heart,other principal bodily parts.Do not forget that electricity is used by us humans also as an energy/power source,and so Even as 1 can use EACH of the fingers he chooses,i personally think that the best option is to do exactly such a CYCLIC motion that repeatedly circles ALL of the fingers 1-by-1 as in this particular way the serious changes the heart might be otherwise experiencing(i mean if you try to use ANY of your fingers)are not on and the additional influence is limited to what the heart CAN suffer through with no serious complications ensuing later;and such serious dangers indeed CAN be found with pranayama as well as with yoga.The cyclic pranayama will influence your heart(and more too)on a much larger scale and more profoundly than the traditionally seen in books forms of pranayama can.The normal for most people unability to operate each of their fingers will gradually diminish and then disappear even at all if you practise ESPECIALLY this type of pranayama because as the normally mentioned type practises only the thumb and the forefinger these largest yet not the only fingers around,THIS type of pranayama already engages into action ALL of your fingers;activizing smaller fingers of your hand though will not only make your fingers more capable and practised,but will also drastically boost the set of bodily functions that is connected to activities of the fingers as a certain thing;some of internal bodily functions will be profiting large scale from this type of pranayama no less than the fingers themselves will as each of the 10 is well connected to different internal functions and activizing the fingers themselves(which are but the tips of a large internal iceberg of functions)will then certainly boost those ''lower iceberg parts'' as i would call them too;the iceberg mentioned then additionally activisez important internal functions,each of those becoming more proficient and useful with it.And as the thumb and the forefinger ARE indeed best connected and exert the best pressure upon the organism possible,introduction into use of other fingers AS WELL will boost the performance of some lower bodily functions as well as EACH of our fingers is well connected with some bodily parts and accordingly has an influence upon a set of functions inside of the lower body too.The entire calculation of such an increased influence is based upon different physical strenghts each of the 5 palm's fingers holds to it and/or of different amounts of an electric charge each of your fingers DOES hold to it even if you never do much with your fingers;for an actively practising pranayama individual such differences not only DO exist,but in fact even have considerable influence upon the results of his pranayama practises,and that is somewhat additionally improved health generally speaking;and the longer your pranayama use is the more influential such an increase in pranayama practise accordingly is.Because as the brain itself ALWAYS has inside of it a certain pretty significant electric charge(our medicine claims that each human brain is a very small electric generator describing this in easy for understanding terms),which we simply neither observe nor even hear about mostly,this inside of the brain only existing electricity alive as it exists normally ONLY inside of the brain itself,even as a very small to it,the truth is the stronger that brain electric charge is inside of it the more electricity will your fingers be showing too;the amounts of such electric currents are able to be increased after some skillfull management of one's internal affairs;i myself am perfectly able to inflict upon myself heavy breathing by touching sensitive areas of my own body,and such effects are ONLY possible with electric currents being strong enough in my fingers to cause such a grave for the health an effect.To strongly increase the electric charge your own brain anyway has inside of it(after which it easily travels also towards your fingers)A LOT of shirshasana the headstand pose practising is recommended.More,to consume a less cooked and so more alive/full of energy a set of foods will also strongly increase the electric charge not only your brain itself,but then also the fingers its close lieutenant will be having to them.The food we eat becomes an essential part of this body after something like 11 months and such a time period approximately IS when each and every of our internal bodily cells is replaced with another 1 completely(this information had been collected from very scientific books about human physiology).1 must know that whatever does he/she eat,his/her next body(we CAN see in our own older made photoes that what we were say a 2 years ago NOW is fully gone and currently we are completely different individuals)he would be having shortly is EXACTLY what he is eating this very day;and so the importance of what EXACTLY do we consume as our food is immense and not only COULD,but SHOULD be strictly controlled for the better final results of our daily lives,which would be better SO much more if we simply control our food intake EXACTLY and without deviations.Even as in the half fake world of the intelligence and psycho(1 is fully engrossed in this said world as he watches TV and listens to music etc)no serious changes are ever observed/existing as the brain is COMPLETELY protected and intentionally set aside from the rest of the SO much less comfortably situated a body(this effect is existing EXACTLY to profit the body the most though),the changes 1 can and must made to his life regimes are SO much more influential and so are better controlled specifically for better results as such CAN be performed/achieved with comperative ease 1 most never can find in other life spheres.My OWN fingers' electric influence is pretty high;i can easily inflict upon myself heavy breathing simply by touching the body with my fingers;even as my fingers are well away from my brain,which shows that the fingers are easily finding reach of free electricity from my brain,which in turn earns it from my frequent headstands and consumption of my never ever boiled and only just highly enough heated up to be pasteurized food.Whichever food do i eat lately,it is never AS much as boiled or even overheated(like had passed higher than the 60 degrees Centigrade mark).I make exceptions to this rule lately ONLY as i lack/need a foodie even as am far away from my home yet NEEDING to proceed with my outdoors occupations and so unable to feed correctly;such situations DO exist as a considerable part of my each given day is spent upon the street in different yet mostly OUTDOORS EXERCISES orientated functions.Those who practise pranayama a lot will definitely find this sort of cyclic pranayama MORE affecting their healves as simply more used/practised during any given day in this cyclic way,which actually IS the sign that it deserves more attention than the traditionally described form of pranayama does.Why this sort of pranayama hadnt been detailed in yoga texts is simply because just as it is with EACH of texts of significant value,its core and most important values/proposals are ONLY seen and achieved after a considerable time of personal use/practise;the others but the ardent practitioners left aside and NOT aquainted with those things.And why making newcomers know ALL of the practical uses as they for now are NOT willing to be dedicated to the practise in question seriously?Considerable misuse of the topic and negligence following that are of no interest to anyone.Wise people decided long before us that this possible practical mistake would better be avoided.Under the easily percievable rubbish of the classic texts nicer elements of those are ALSO findable,but only by those,who are devoted enough to search for them inside.Even as currently your fingers will NOT be able to do ALL the movements involved in it(for most people only the thumb and the forefinger WILL be useful during pranayama),and certainly at this moment will fail to affect your body towards any heavy breathing(this IS what my body finds easily as i do pranayama myself)supposed done during this extended pranayama science/practise,with time flowing and persistance applied the success IS guaranteed and the results ARE to be expected;other people never knowing any of it.This exact effect of only PERSONAL use of interesting results of hinduism is deliberately programmed into its teachings to avoid undesirable effects following.Even as i myself started once with using ONLY the thumb and the forefinger as practising pranayama,the rest of my fingers being comparatively weak and/or completely unable to perform it then,with time and persistant practise of pranayama(i actively perform it by now in 2022 for a couple of years)i gradually achieved the desired capacities of almost ALL of my fingers,and not of only the thumb and the forefinger,because those 2 were exactly what WAS able to perform pranayama at first as i only was starting my pranayama use.Currently(and this is after like 2 years of a well active pranayama use)i can pretty easily operate with about EACH of my 10 fingers when i practise pranayama,nicer results being not available only for my smallest fingers.
